Pros
The property level can give you a lot of experience and flexibility.

Cons
There is little room for growth unless you are willing to relocate, are a man, or know somebody high up in the management. Very few employees are happy for the long term as many are passed up for promotions. There is little loyalty to the employees and their tenure.

Advice to Senior Management
Employees should be recognized more both with fair compensation, accolades, job flexibility, and internal promotions.

Cons
Bullying and unprofessional behavior by Management and Colleagues. Managers foster an environment of clicks within department and lack of teamwork.
Their touted "culture" is a joke. "Collaborative" and "open" are words that sound good but the reality is miserably off base.
HR is corrupt. In order to be valuable HR needs to do more than consistently and mindlessly support the higher level employee on any issue. Associates should be able to go to HR with valid concerns. If I had the energy and money and didn’t already have a new job, I would be contacting a labor law attorney.
Managers do not have level of knowledge and skill which should be required for their positions. When bad decisions cause problems, lower level employees get blamed. Management is removed from the competence and level of skill required to produce deliverables relative to our department and industry. Manager will not listen to input – has their own “agenda”.
I have put 110% into this job with no sense of accomplishment, appreciation, or professional growth in return. Internal roadblocks to efforts for improvement on both the corporate and property level. Manager demands respect but does not offer the same in return to members of team. Manager’s concern is “what can you do for me”? Not “what can you do for this company”?
I very much support and believe in the purpose of this company and the work that they do. When I leave here I will not be leaving the company I will be leaving because of the lack of positive role models in senior leadership.

Advice to Senior Management
Weak managers continue to stay in their position. Senior management does not like confrontation so will continue to choose to ignore issues instead of addressing.

Pros
A somewhat set schedule, nice office staff, employees are sociable, you feel very welcomed when you start, online timekeeping, paid time off offered upon employment.

Cons
The pay is very low compared to the expectations set for employees. Employees show up or leave for their shift when it is convenient for them with no discipline. Management is too busy trying to remind everyone of their title that they are oblivious to the problems there. Employee morale is crazy low if you're not part of the admin staff. Turnover is rediculous. I know an employee who has been there for 4 years and has only had a $.20 bump in pay.

Cons
Mall and corporate management does not care about the security staff
Security staff is always the scapegoat for everything (spills not cleaned up, lights out, compactors not working, etc)
Mall does not properly train officers
Hires anyone with a heartbeat
Low salaries despite us doing a study showing how the other malls paid more (HR dismissed the study)
Their "anonymous" harassment line doesnt work as HR came back and blamed security
Uniforms are old and dirty/stained. Hat's are messed up. Not very professional
Vehicles are horrible and "rolling billboards" with sponsorship on the sides.
Promotions mostly based on the "buddy" system

Advice to Senior Management
Start taking the customers as well as the employees safety more seriously. Train the officers better. Raise the wages. Stop cheaping out on security/safety. Treat your staff better. Got to love how non of the corporate managers have experience as Security Officers, yet dictate policy.

Pros
profitable business. as a REIT, they have figured out how to build, lease and manage shopping centers.

Cons
culture is a joke........only a certain age and sex are tolerated. if one is not of a certain youthful age and is not of a certain sex, there is no future at this company. what they say publically and what they do privately are greatly at odds.

Pros
Okay pay considering the nature of the work, however, be prepared to deal with a lot of jerks, which is the nature of the work, but also coworkers tend to be very abusive and insensitive. Tremendous amount of favoritism in terms of promotion and scheduling.

Cons
See above. Should be enough information.

Advice to Senior Management
Set your personal differences aside and be as objective as possible in assessing and promoting key talent. Also, upper management tends to be a bit bi-polar. Take care of that before it hits the fan!

Cons
Salary is good when you first start and then when it is time for raises they are very low even with a great review. Management is to concerned about college degrees when you try for a promotion. They fail to see the many years you have been with them and how strong your background is with the company. Some of the management fails to take care of the problem employees because they have been threatened with law suits. Management staf is to young and immature to hold their positions.

Advice to Senior Management
Grow up! Act your age!! Look at what your employees have to offer before seeking outside the company. Review with your staff and/or team to see what is needed or what their concerns maybe. Have a development plan and a better training program. The HR staff needs restructured. They are snooty and worried more about themselves than their employees.
